Is it in the public interest to accept a complaint of discrimination brought by a third party for the second time?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Pearse v. Millos Greek Restaurant & Lounge and another, 2018 BCHRT 224 (CanLII):
In circumstances where the latest allegation of discrimination occurred on November 25, 2017, this complaint is over three weeks late, which is relatively brief and not substantial. While a three-week delay might suggest that it is in the public interest to accept the complaint, other factors must be weighed before reaching such a conclusion: Demers v. Everything Wine and another, 2017 BCHRT 77 at para. 20.
